Productivity
is where the business strives. If you
look around, though, do you not see the streets and halls of commerce filled
with hunched over humans hovering over their cellphones and oblivious to the worlds
around them. To get your people back to work, to get them to focus on the task
at hand and increase productivity, the cellphone needs to be put away.
Landlines are the solution.gm
Cellphones
interrupt business in a multitude of ways, providing distractions and creating
hazards. They actually add to stress and burn-out, too, killing productivity.
Here are some ways landlines will ensure that the focus of your business will
work.
1. Remove
the cellphone distraction by requiring employees to conduct business on
landlines, where social media does not exist. Personal calls on cellphones
should be limited. Landlines can also security measures to review contact
history, and or record/listen to conversations to ensure customers are being
handles properly and professionally.
2. Focus
on meetings and projects by keeping personal or frivolous interruptions to a
minimum that are often found on cell phones/smart phones.
3. Increase
security by using landlines, minimizing the opportunity for electronic
eavesdropping, intentional or accidental.
4. Landlines
and localized records are much more secure. How dangerous would it be if all of
your business information, contacts, and records were on an unlocked cellphone
and it was lost or damaged?
5. The
use of landlines creates a separation of the personal life and the professional
life, a key component of employee productivity.
6. In-the-
moment text decisions are typically less than productive. The responder is
focused on sending a reply, not necessarily on making the best decision or
taking time to consult with others to compose the best solution.
Cutting out landlines
in your business is actually counter- productive and costly Landlines put the
control of the work environment back into the hands of managers and owners,
increasing productivity and the quality of services rendered.
